SI Partners' Path to Growth Survey

A global analysis of the growth challenges and aspirations of over 600 agencies in 16 global markets.

What commercial and internal pressures do agency leaders face? How are they planning to develop their offer in a fast-changing environment? And how are they planning for growth?

SI Partners, global consultancy and M&A advisor to creative and technology businesses, commissioned this study of 600 businesses in every major marcoms market across the globe to share insight on the current state of agency growth and the challenges to growth faced by agency leaders.

The research captures agencies’ common aspirations, expectations, outlook and concerns on a global level, as well as identifying particular issues and challenges they face in different regions.

 

Are you a leader looking to expand internationally or sell your business? How do you grow revenues and attract and retain creative talent?

Marketing services and creative agencies around the world are seeking growth through global expansion but are unsure how to deliver these ambitions and are neglecting other strategic priorities that could be holding them back from realising their full potential value.

In its Path to Growth Survey, SI Partners examines:

  • The hopes and aspirations of marketing and communication companies worldwide;
  • Where the strategic growth opportunities lie; and
  • Where the doubts are as creative agencies seek to survive and thrive in an increasingly competitive and global market.

The survey also reveals the nature and importance of the fight for marcoms talent, particularly in senior positions and for specialist marcoms knowledge, as agencies seek to keep their product and service offerings relevant in a rapidly evolving industry.

The SI Partners Path to Growth Survey asks:

  • Do marcoms businesses understand the correct strategic growth levers?
  • How confident are leaders in achieving their growth ambitions?
  • Can companies match their risk appetite with international expansion?
  • Is there a talent, culture and leadership gap?
